22.01.2022 Lots of fun at the clinic yesterday exploring the art and therapeutic effects of Moxibustion. More specifically the stick on and platform methods of Moxibustion. This localised heat therapy is one of the most potent tools for home based, self help healthcare in the Chinese Medicine chest. Our next workshop with revise these methods and stick moxa, while introducing Cone Moxibustion.

20.01.2022 So...study proves ancient TCM theory? Nah.... #ofcourseitdoes https://www.facebook.com/100000545768857//2194820663879438/

20.01.2022 SteelBody or Iron Shirt Qigong has a very long history and a close connection to many Chinese Martial Arts and Chinese Medicine. It is often an additional part ...to a styles training curriculum but can also be trained as a stand alone system on its own. The training in this video is common place in many styles. Our teachers have trained with multiple styles and three of them use this method, or very similar ones, to develop the SteelBody. These include the iron shirt methods of Nam Wah Pai in Singapore, the 12 cycles Qigong system of Master Zhao Shui, and the Circular Tong Long Kung Fu internal drills of Grandmaster Henry Sue. Two things to take note of are the breathing and the mild tensing of the body. We cover multiple breathing methods in this course to build and store Qi, to direct Qi, and to explode it at specific places in the body (either for protection or striking). This requires unification of the body and mind leading to whole body power. The breathing is the bridge that often links body and mind. The goal is not to make the body too hard or tense when being struck or when striking. Qi flows in through the connective tissues, the fascia. Fascia is everywhere in the body, including just under the skin and throughout the muscles. Too much tension restricts Qi flow leading to a lack of protective ability or power output when striking. The percussive striking to the body has positive health benefits for the skin, lymphatic system, bones, endocrine system, and digestive tract. You will learn a series of exercises that develop the breath, link the body movement to the thought processes, and build a steadfast spirit. The link to Chinese Medicine is through an understanding of the Qi channel system, dietary and herbal medicine, and the application of moxibustion. Sifu Marc Webster holds a Masters of Acupuncture and studies Jing Fang herbal medicine. His 25 years experience gives this course a greater depth for the student to fine tune their practice. For those that are new to these ideas and would like to know more about the benefits of this type of training we are offering the opportunity for a Q&A session at our club Saturday 13th April, 12-1pm.

20.01.2022 One of the best external herbal formulas in East Asian Medicine. In Japan it is called Shiunko, or Purple Cloud Cream. It is the most efficient scarless healer you will ever use. It can be used on burns, cuts, abrasions, post surgery, eczema, and more. The basic formula is only five ingredients, simple to make, and ideal for the home medicine cabinet. We make our own for use in our acupuncture and for sale to the public. #sifumarcwebster #fitlifemartialarts #fitlifehealth #traditionalchinesemedicine #traditionaleastasianmedicine #purplecloudcream #shiunko #shiunkocream #scarlesshealer #scarlesshealercream

15.01.2022 CALL TO ACTION: The Medical Board of Australia (MBA) is targeting medical doctors who integrate complementary medicines and emerging treatments into their pra...ctice - placing patient choice at risk. If adopted, proposed changes could see Integrative doctors restricted from recommending vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, natural therapies and diagnostic testing which will inevitably compromise individualised treatment plans. The MBA is seeking public feedback because legally it has to. If you value access to holistic healthcare and support doctors right to offer it, let the MBA know you support Option 1 - to maintain the current standards via the link below. It takes just a few minutes to protect your right of choice. https://www.yourhealthyourchoice.com.au/mba-submissions/

14.01.2022 Over 20 years in the natural health industry and we have seen way too many positive outcomes and experiences to agree with this idea that natural therapies are ineffective.

13.01.2022 A modern version of Turtle Shell Moxibustion. This moxa is being performed on the navel and is said to nourish Kidney Yang to generate Yin, soften hardness, and prolong life. It can also ground Qi that is floating upwards in the body, lift prolapse, warm the middle, and disperse cold. It can invigorate Spleen Qi, regulate Qi and blood, as well as warm and promote channel circulation. - ChineseMedicineTraveller.com #moxibustion #moxa #fitlifehealth #sifumarcwebster #longevity #suzannerobidoux #chinesemedicinetraveller #fireoflife

05.01.2022 Moxibustion is a powerful and sometimes miraculous therapy. It can be used daily for health maintenance, well being and longevity.

04.01.2022 Our modern lifestyles are full of stress, deadlines, commitments, and desires. This can lead to the your immune system being on constantly. This low level alert eventually fatigues the immune system so it cant respond effectively to a real attack when it comes. Illnesses can be intense, protracted, and recurrent. Even when you think youve recovered there can be a focal infection residing in the sinuses. If left unattended it can lead to connective tissue disorders, being ...prone to other infections, even autoimmune dysfunction. To combat this use the Neti Pot to flush your sinuses every day. Use warm salt water. You can even add things like echinacea and goldenseal. Take responsibility for your own health. Create good habits. Discipline is the key to success and longevity. #sifumarcwebster #fitlifehealth #fitlifemartialarts #preventionisbetterthancure #netipot #immunityboost #longevity See more

04.01.2022 As Allied Health professionals and registered practitioners we are still open, but as it gets harder to get out and about with physical distancing and the need to minimise contact, it is less likely you will want to come to the clinic for treatment. We can still provide online herbal consultations and the herbs can be posted to you. To look after your health and well being, keep as active as possible, eat well with lots of fresh foods, take immune boosting herbs and supplemen...ts, get enough rest, breathe deeply, enjoy your time with family. AND keep a watch out for the free online training sessions coming out of our FitLife Martial Arts school - Qigong, Tai Chi, Stretch sessions. If you have any questions about your health please let us know. Kind regards, Marc and Toni

02.01.2022 Self help for Adaptation In this life, one of the things I have realised is that it is easier to survive with a flexible attitude and the ability to adapt to an...y situation Each day there seems to be another challenge for us as humans as we move further away from natural living I have always encouraged people to abandon the cities and live a more simple life in a rural area. Sure you cant make as much money but you wont need it out there. The cities are like black holes that suck up your life, your money, your time and your health If you havent noticed there are also lots of 5G towers going up all over town and suburbs so the latest fear is the increase in radiation we may be exposed to All is not lost though. Removing yourself from the city can take time, but luckily as with all things in life we have our plant and herbal allies in time of need, and people, do we need them now. Food and herbs can help protect your continued wellness. Thats the good news! So here we go...... I think the key to the healing power of all plants is in their mineral content. The best description of minerals I have found is the quote below and shows how important minerals are for our health. Minerals are frequencies of light, frequencies of information and frequencies of creation for the material world, in the universe in which we live. The Earth is made up of minerals. Our body is made up of minerals. Minerals activate all the catalysts for enzymatic reactions in the body. They activate the vitamins. They activate all the organ structures and are the basis of all the organ and cellular structures of the body. Minerals are the builders of the system. The body is composed entirely of minerals and water. The water molecule is the one that acts as the powerful solvent within the human system, bringing in nutrients and washing out waste particles Without the essential minerals and trace minerals we would not survive. Spiritual Nutrition. Gabriel Cousens MD Seaweeds are what first come to mind as they are very high in mineral content. These minerals are valuable protection against radiation and by consuming the natural iodine, found in the seaweeds, will help to prevent the uptake of radiation from the environment. Chlorella is one of the most widely studied of the algaes and has been described as having the highest chlorophyll content in plants. Studies done on animals have found that a chlorophyll rich diet increases the survival of experimental animals after lethal doses of radiation. Always be sure your source of sea vegetables is not contaminated and is from a reputable source. Next we come to the vegetables. Brassica vegetables and high beta-carotene vegetables protect your cells from the damaging effects of radiation Brassica vegetables include broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, swedes, turnips, broccoli raab, collards, cress, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, and bok choi Beta-carotene can be found in concentrated amounts in foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, pumpkin, turnip greens, collard greens, coriander, fresh thyme, rock melon, romaine lettuce and broccoli. Beans and lentils have high nucleotide concentrations. Nucleotides are the building blocks that make up RNA and DNA and carry out several critical functions needed for cell replication. Nucleotides also neutralise toxins in your body by increasing cellular metabolism, improving the efficiency of your immune system, enhancing the effects of antioxidants and increasing bodys ability to heal and repair. Other foods high in nucleotides include spirulina, chlorella, algae, yeast, sardines, liver, anchovies and mackerel. Many studies demontrate that the fatty acids found in cod liver oil and olive oil, fully protected rats against increasing doses of damaging X-ray irradiation. Other research has shown that mice exposed to large doses of radiation survived 50-100% longer than normal if fed cod liver oil. The Selenium found in Brazil Nuts, Sunflower Seeds, Fish (such as Halibut and Salmon) , Eggs, Mushrooms (button, crimini, shiitake), Grains (wheat germ, barley, brown rice, oats) and Onions help protect DNA from radiation damage. Sulphur containing foods such as fish, eggs, beans and peas, brussel sprouts onion, cabbage, garlic and wheat germ have been found to protect the body against radiation as have high pectin foods like carrots, sunflower seeds and apples. Of course the avoidance of refined, highly processed sugars and flours will be of benefit as these foods actually lower your immune system Medicinal Mushrooms (a primary group providing -glucans) are notable for their ability to balance and improve the immune system and mitigate the effects of radiation, heavy metals, and pathogens. These include, reishi, shiitake, chaga, cordyceps, maitake, and oyster, to name a few. All medicinal mushrooms boost the immune system before and after radiation exposure. And now we come to my favourite part the Radio-protective Herbs These are herbs that are rich sources of chlorophyll and minerals, support detoxification and elimination, and support the thyroid gland or neutralize free radicals. All important attributes for helping us avoid the damaging effects of radiation. Nettles & Alfalfa have the highest concentration of land plant chlorophyll and are an excellent source of selenium Alfalfa is a very good source of chlorophyll and are both rich in a broad number of minerals. Chickweed is a powerhouse of nutrition and the saponins present in Chickweed increase the permeability of mucous membranes, increasing the absorption of nutrients whilst soothing the digestive tract. It functions both as a mild laxative and a diuretic, helping the body to rid itself of toxins through the kidneys and the bowels. It also promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in your bowel. Gingko Biloba is a herb which has a history of being radio-protective. Green Tea Extract, Grape Seed extract can help with both heavy metal detoxification and free radical neutralization. Turmeric which contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Ashwaganda can help to support your thyroid and adrenal glands. Ginseng can decrease side effects of radiation exposure as well as helping the body adapt to stress to aid in recovery. Siberian Ginseng can help protect against the side effects of radiation exposure and contains selenium. Astragalus supports thyroid functioning. Asparagus is a good source of glutathione, known to assist in the reduction of heavy metals and other toxins from the body, including radiation. Red Clover studies have shown its anti-radiation and anti-cancer properties Bitter herbs activate the production of bile fluids in the liver. Bile is the collector of heavy metals, radiation, chemicals, viruses, bacteria, parasites, and yeast which can then safely sent down the intestinal tract with the bile and out of the body. One of my favourite bitter herbs is Dandelion and the home herbalist can easily make medicine from this generous weed. Burdock root (Arctium lappa) helps to neutralize and remove toxins from the body. Dandelion root, leaves and flowers (Taraxacum officinale) improves the function of our bodys organs elimination process and is a blessed support for your liver Green and black tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) are antioxidant, immune stimulant, and contain radioprotective agents. Milk thistle seed (Silybum marianum) helps protect the body from chemical exposure, environmental illness and liver damage. This is an easy plant to grow and collect fresh seeds from. Red clover blossom (Trifolium pratense) improves health in general, helping all the organs of elimination function more optimally. Yellow dock (Rumex crispus) improves the function of the kidneys, liver, lymphatic system, intestines and skin thus aiding the bodys natural cleansing process. Hyssop is one of Natures most effective whole body detoxifiers. It works to by clearing heat, inflammation, and toxins from the tissues, organs, and glands of the body. These foods and herbs are nothing new and should be considered as a normal part of your diet to support healthy immune functioning, cell regeneration and gentle elimination on a regular basis. We have the wonderful ability of adaptation and I believe the plants that have evolved with us over time are here for us as allies in our efforts to adapt to this changing world. Mother Nature provides so that we can practice self help

02.01.2022 Susumu Kimura Sensei. Some interesting, perhaps provocative ideas from a long time practitioner. Cause and effect, personal responsibility, purifying ourselves, and a non-materialistic approach to health and life. What do you think?

01.01.2022 After a physically and mentally stressful weekend it was time for some home therapy. A bath to soak with Mugwort from the garden, seaweed, magnesium salts, and Roman chamomile.
